What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

@Tundra234

 

Lol. At least he has Line-X. I saw the post last night but I have been preoccupied with these F'n tire pressure sensors on my truck.

 

I can relate all too well

 

Thanks a million for making time to share measurements and details. I probably have enough scrap wood in my garage to make this happen this weekend!

 

Making these methods tolerable till I get some SCS…

 

Stewart, I used something a little different than @2020Platinum with no issues...

$14 J-B Weld Plastic Bonder Black 25ml Syringe - 2 Pack (50139-2), 25 ml - 2 Pack

WAY better! Now to do the other three…

 

Looks good. What product did you use?

 

Thanks! I used metallic copper plasti dip for the interior and black for the beadlock ring. Had them sitting in the garage for years and figured I’d give it a try. Never liked the matte black and the wheels came with the truck.

 

Those look great! What color did you use for the base coats of the copper color?

 

Insane in a good way…I loved my ‘20 Platinum but this is an upgrade in every way imaginable…ride quality, power, torque, interior features, etc…haven’t found one major complaint yet, truck is a beast

Used the “QuickSteel” 2 part epoxy putty, but anything like that would do the job!

I took a few things off but left most of the major mods intact, they gave me a great price for the trade so definitely can’t complain!

 

Yeah, the pain is real... After waiting 3 months for parts for the repair to my truck after being rear ended while parked, the body shop emailed me on June 9 to say that the truck was done (I was returning from Europe on the 10th) and that I could pick it up on the Monday. When I called on Monday, he said "Ummm. I have some bad news. Someone broke into the compound and stole the cats."

I'm into the third month of driving a rental Tahoe (on the body shop's dime)... Delivery dates keep getting pushed. Latest is this Wednesday, but I wont be surprised if there's another delay. Cover those babys up! My RCI shields are at my mechanic and will go on right quick!

 

I just put it right over the stock method matte black and did 3 coats of copper (1 light and two heavier coats).

 

Took the rig camping again and hit some trails. Also, thanks to Alpine offroad for these badass heritage edition straps.

 

Looks so much better than black. Curious how it holds up over time.

 

Finally got around to installing the NAPA Maxitrac awning. Had to get it done soon before our camping trip.

 

Added some custom cat protection.

 

I have the same awning. It working pretty good.

 

Love it!

 

Had a negative experience at 4WP Cherry Hill, NJ store.
Here is the story.


In short:
Gave all the specifics made an appointment. Drove there and then they first didn’t remember what I was in for then, confirmed after reading appointment notes in the system and then refused to do the service unless I spend more money for a BMC.

Problems:
1. Customer service is no existence, one of the sales person Ted doesn’t know how to deal and talk with customer. Kept educating me with his over 30 years of experience and wouldn’t allow me to finish what I had to say. Later on proven to missed the details of my scheduled service notes. Also claimed “alignment has nothing to do with tires rubbing or not”. Which is false.

2. Customer communication is also non existence, after they finally figured out what I was in for, they told me if the tires rub they can’t let it leave the shop unless I have them do a BMC. Ok, I understand that, but, BUT the problem is, why did the sales person promised me everything on the phone and left out these important details to get me into the shop and then have the manager Adam telling me these are the corporate policies? If I’d known, I’d gone somewhere else. Wasted my vacation and almost 3 hours commute time round trip.

3. No Complaint policy? After I was refused service, I asked the manager Adam what’s your stores complaint policy, he told me just leave a negative google review. And I asked them what about the corporates complaint handling process? He said there is none. Debatable, so I asked another person again and was told to find out a number on 4wp’s website. Which doesn’t lead me to anything but voicemails. The fact that the employees/managers don’t know or not willing to tell customer their complaint procedure, is very alarming because how can an organization improve if they don’t deal with customer complaints/feedbacks efficiently?

4. About 20min after I left the store, 4wp’s regional manager called me and asked for the details of this unpleasant trip, he said the store called him about this just now and he wants to make things right or at least investigate on the causes. So… the shop does know their complaint handling process, which proved that the manager didn’t want to tell me about it earlier. Had a pleasant experience with Ryan who took the notes in a very professional manner, Provided all the details of the encounter with their cherry hill shop and he admitted there is definitely a communication issue that needs to be addressed.

In conclusion, I’d say if you are looking for a shop that values you as a customer, this is not the one for you. They way they treated their customers today definitely won’t have me back ever. In a way, I am very glad that they didn’t touch my truck.

 

Thanks for posting that.

 

No problem, I have heard good things about OK4WD but never personally been there, may give them a try down the road.

 

Just crossed them off as a place to call for regearing my truck.. thanks for the heads up

 

Funny, my first experience with 4WP when I had my Frontier a while back (6 years ago?) was very good, but two further visits were very similar to yours. There were a lot of 'corporate rules' that appeared out of nowhere and clear communication was absent. I felt they didn't value my time or the significant amount of $ I was going to spend there. For better or worse, I didn't try to complain; just took my business elsewhere.

 

But what are we going to talk about now? No pit bull tires. Haha

 

I think you are confusing him for @mgm16trdpro

 

My mistake. I got trucks mixed up. And names. Everyone can still talk about those tires though

 

You have icons and running 315/70r17s right? And they insisted on a BMC? You ought to show those idiots this video:

 

For these brackets, do you have to remove the bumper cover to install?
